CINELA Pianissimo PIANI-1-8060

Following the success of the Piano, the Pianissimo is mainly designed for the new generation of short shotgun microphones and coincident stereo, surround sound combinations and in fact all kind of mikes shorter than 21cm. Easily transported, the Pianissimo is very light, robust and adaptable, with all the recognised qualities of the existing range of Cinela windshields.

• very light and unbreakable cage: constructed in two parts, the lower and upper pieces clip together at six points by simple friction
• aerodynamic "ovoid" shape and maximum internal volume around microphone acoustic sections for high wind resistance
• the primary covering is a 2mm thick 3D-fabric to provide a very good first level wind protection for a total acoustic transparency
• the central support has two positions enabling the fitting of numerous different size microphones or combinations
• small fixing points on the cross for an optional fixation of binder plug panels
• standard Piano 1 swivel, single axis with XLR holder. The swivel is tightened using a toothed wheel, which permits a firm grip with light force
• second secret swivel, only adjustable with the help of a screwdriver. Very useful for stereo applications. The swivel and cable turn in a block on the central axis. Thus as standard, unlike the Piano, the Pianissimo turns on both axes, but can be locked for mono use
• like all the other versions, there are additional protective covers available, long and short fur and the very effective "Kelly" raincover
• the standard versions (Piani-1, Piani-2, Piani-3) have XLR outputs on 3, 5, and 7-pin connectors. For the mono version the cable connection is a direct XLR-M to XLR-F. All the other versions have intermediate binder connections. It is even possible to use up to 4 channels via two Binder panels and outputting on 3mm multiconductor cable
• finally, for transport, the Pianissimo comes with an unbreakable transparent shell made from polycarbonate
• weight is 325g with suspension module and primary 3D fabric (without fur)
• size: 32cm length, diameter 16x14cm
